AfriCaSo (African and Caribbean Students Organization) is an organization
at Dartmouth College whose membership includes primarily students of African
and Caribbean heritage as well as any students interested in these cultures.
AfriCaso is dedicated to maintaining cultural ties and increasing awareness of
those issues related to Africa and the Caribbean. Africaso achieves these goals
through annual cultural and awareness programming.
AfriCaso's
Signature Events
AfriCaso has traditionally put together certain programs annually as
trademark events of the organization. In the past AfriCaso organized
a cultural dinner event annually. This program has not been reproduced
in
the last couple of years but recently AfriCaso has taken up a cultural
program - Limin' Wit AfriCaSo, that we intend to recreate and enhance
from year to year. "Limin'" is a Trinidadian slang for 'hanging out.'
Thus a "Limin'" event is one in which friends get together to enjoy
one anothers company, whether with food, music, drink, and dancing. AfriCaSo's
Limin' event is meant to showcase African and Caribbean culture, enabling
the larger Dartmouth Community to enjoy these enthnic traditions in the
company of their fellow students. The program line-up for Limin' typically
includes fashion exposees, African and Caribbean buffets, and traditional
dance and music.
